about a month ago, we got cable internet.
since my computar is upstairs and acrossed the house, running cat5 was out of the question, so wireless is what we got for my computer.
well, it sucks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
it's completely inconsistant, and seems to have a mind of it's own. one minute, it's blazing at full speed (signal strength: excellent), and i go to reboot, and it's down to low!!!
it's 2.4ghz 802.11b, and we happen to have a 2.4ghz cordless phone in the house, and i origionally thought that might be causing interferance, but it acts up even when the phone isn't in use! (like right now)
sometimes disabling/enabling the wireless access point (it's going through usb) or rebooting helps, but most of the time it doesn't.
why does my signal strength fluctuate between low, very low, good, and excellent, and is there anything i can do about it?
i might as well have dialup!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
